About Extension Forestry

Our mission is to enable North Carolinians to make informed decisions concerning the management, enhancement, and enjoyment of their forest and other natural resources through sound, research-based information and education. We provide educational opportunities and information for adults and youth in the following program areas.

Christmas Tree Production & Marketing – Promoting economic development through best management practices and sound business skills.

Community Forestry – Improving the health of community forest through management and policy.

We reach out to North Carolinians via publications, workshops, videos, conferences, county meetings, and field demonstrations. We use advances in technology to reach larger numbers of clients through the internet and mobile technologies, making the information and education accessible where ever theirs a connection.

Thank you for visiting Extension Forestry’s web page, and we hope the information contained within will be helpful to you in making informed decisions. If you need any assistance please feel free to contact us.
